Play/Sleep Time

Zion is on the move! Well, not really MOVING, moving...but he's sure trying!! He tries to pull up on whatever is near by and rocks back and forth, and then he wears himself out and is knocked out. :-) He's at a very cute and fun stage right now!!

Car

A friend of ours gave us this little car for Zion. He can't touch the ground with both of his feet at the same time yet, but he still thought it was fun to sit on and have daddy push him around. These are kinda blurry too:-( I can't get this kid to sit still!:-)

More Solid Food!

Zion got the hang of eating real food pretty quickly! He's actually not too messy when he eats, he keeps most of it in his mouth, the messiest thing is when he tries to help:-). I loves these biter biscuits too, but then a little piece will break off and he goes insane when we try to recover it and take the biscuit away.:-) He's trying lots of new foods and liking them all so far! So far he's eaten banana, avocado, sweet potatoes, apples and oatmeal baby cereal! (Might not sound so exciting to you, but it's very exciting for him!)

Happy Boy

Zion is getting more social and friendly everyday! When we're in public, most people's comments are, "What a happy baby" now, so that is fun! I love his smile, it makes my day when I walk in the door from being at the gym or somewhere and see this beaming face looking up at me!! Eden loves coming home too, Zion definately knows his daddy and gets very excited when he walks in the door!

Door Jumper

These pics are kinda blurry because he'll always moving around in this jumper! He loves it though, he's starting to jump on his own and make himself laugh, it's adorable!

Solid Food!!!

Zion turned 6 months on August 24th and got to try some solid foods! His first taste in these pics is of avocados. He liked it at first, and then after a few sucks he started making funny faces, but we could never actually get them on camera. These pics are still cute though!

Koala

I think Zion looks like a little koala on Eden here. This is one of both of their favorite spots! The other pic is when Zion wore Eden and Masa out:-)

Time to keep up!

All within a matter of days, Zion started sitting up on his own (with no support) and propping himself on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth. I better get ready for him to start crawling soon!! I can't believe it! He's such a happy boy and is laughing more and more all the time, it's great! He loves being active, so once he can actually move around on his own, I think I'll get plenty of exercise! I still love being a mom, it's so hard to imagine that I didn't even know this little man a year ago.

Bathtime!

Ever since he was born, Zion hasn't liked to laydown in his little infant tub. But now he can sit up on his own so we tried him just sitting in the tub, and he actually enjoyed himself for a little bit!! I can't believe my little boy is getting so big already, time's going too fast already, we're enjoying everyday with him though! He liked splashing around a little bit in the water, he's getting more playful everyday!

Jaden turns 1!!

Our neice Jaden turned 1 on August 3rd!! For those of you who don't know, she was born about 2 months premature. She was in the hospital for a long time, and on oxygen and medications. But she is doing great!! She's getting so big and developing so well! She is truly a miracle baby and a testimony to what an amazing God we have. Everytime we see them, her and Zion are more and more interested in each other, I'm sure they'll have tons of fun playing together soon!
